2. Move the phone away from the computer so that the out script runs
3.

keyboard use.

In and Out are not registering with iPhone 2.2.3 (latest 2.x)

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Configure program correctly to see iphone.  Check status returns On and
Powered.
2. Set time out to 15 seconds to ensure prompt response.
2. Configure scripts and test.  Both tests are successful.
3. Bring iphone clearly out of range for minutes. 

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expect to see out script triggered.  Instead, the icon remains saying "IN".
If check status is request, iPhone is stated as being powered down or out
of range.  Script is still not trigger, and IN is still displayed.

If program is shut down, then loaded.  OUT is triggered and script is
activated.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.5, on Mac OSX 10.5.7 Build 9J61

Preferences overwrited

The preferences file, will be overwritten on all my snow leopard machines, you 
make settings, an't 
you restart proximity and the settings are back to default, not that one you 
have setted

AppController not delegate of NSApplication

The AppController object is not presently set as the delegate of NSApplication 
so no delegate messages are being received. Notably applicationWillTerminate: 
is not being called and thus no clean up is occurring when the app quits. This 
is not a major flaw but it was clearly the intent of the app to clean up at 
shutdown. 

Suggested resolution is to set the AppController as delegate of the 
NSApplication object in the MainMenu.XIB file. This could also be accomplished 
programmatically in awakeFromNib with the rest of the app setup.

Run scripts on startup preference not sticking

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open Proximity > Preferences
2. Uncheck "Immediately run scripts on startup"
3. Quit Proximity
4. Launch Proximity

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Scripts should not run when proximity started.
Scripts are run, opening the preferences window shows the setting is checked.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Make Proximity 'try again' a couple of times before deciding the device is out of range.

Sometimes BT devices need some time to wake up and will not respond to the
fist query. I had to patch Proximity (even previous versions) like below to
make out of range detection more reliable.

10.7 compatibility

Proximity does not work with Mac OS X 10.7

Original issue reported on code.google.com by [email protected] on 25 Jul 2011 at 2:40

Only compiled .scpt scripts are supported

The UI presents editable text fields that point to script file names. Users can 
enter .applescript files, .sh files, or other scripts. However, Proximity only 
runs compiled .scpt files: all others are silently ignored.

Please amend the UI to prevent such confusion.

* Disable editing of the script file name text fields. This way, users cannot 
type invalid file names.
* Label the file name fields with an explicit requirement that all scripts be 
.scpt files.

Finally, consider adding support for other script types, and adding the file 
extensions to the Finder script selector.

* .applescript
* .app
* .sh
* .zsh
* .py
* .pl
* .rb
* arbitrary script files

Proximity Icon not displaying in Snow Leopard menu bar

I have 2 machines, 1 with Leopard and one with Snow Leopard.

The Proximity icon doesn't show on Snow Leopard, but does on Leopard.

Any advice?

Thanks.

Proximity set...

Hi!

First of all... the small utility is just great... but it would be much 
nicer if was possible to set the device in range by meters and not by the real 
"in bluetooth range"

I don't know if I made my point clear but... let me explain, I usually use this 
tool to run a "lock 
computer" script when I went away from the computer, but bluetooth as a big 
range, and it will 
be nice if the computer locks itself when I'm 2 meters away from my mac.

I know, this is complicated to implement and it can generate some errors. 
But... it will be nice ;)


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
- OSX 10.5.8 :) Old Leopard Still Rocks! 10.6 Sucks! ;)

I can't see preferences, so I can't change them.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Launching Proximity


What is the expected output? 

I should see preferences that can be set. 

What do you see instead?
Nothing. App is a hidden background app. 

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

1.5 on 10.5.7


Please provide any additional information below.
I know I must have done this. How do I undo it so I can change a setting?

Option for successive out tests

A great addition would be the ability to test multiple times before an
"out" is declared. I often get false negatives (resulting in a screensaver
firing off while I'm working), but two successive checks of the same status
would likely prevent that.

Can't change device used by Proximity

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Launch Proximity application
2. Select "Preferences" from context menu in menu bar
3. Click on "Change Device" in the Preferences window.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected results: some sort of a "device chooser" dialog should appear.
Actual results: nothing happens. (No feedback to the user -- errors, new 
dialogs, etc. -- is shown.)

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
I believe that I'm running the current version as of 30Apr2015.  (At least, the 
"check for updates" button indicates that I'm up to date.

Operating system is OS X 10.10.3.

Please provide any additional information below.
This worked previously for me.  I recently upgraded to 10.10.3, and also 
recently changed mobile phones, and need to have Proximity poll for the new one 
(which has been paired to my laptop).

Edit Proximity Tolerance

Can you create a way to lower the tolerance for being out of range.  For 
example, with my iPhone 
3G, I have to walk halfway across my office building before I'm "out of range". 
 Ideally, I'd like it to 
register as I walk out of the door of my office.

Would there be a way to create a slider that lowers the amount of signal 
received before being 
declared "out of range"?

Monitor multiple devices

Proximity should have an option to monitor more than one device.

New to proximity.

Hi,

I'm new to this program and don't understand much about programming, but I was 
wondering if 
you could give me some advice?
I am an artist, and I have a concept where, I would like people who walk past a 
box (within 
proximity) to automatically receive an audio file on their mobile phones 
through bluetooth 
(offcorse they would need to accept it first. I know they do this a lot in 
business marketing. I was 
wondering if I could do this with your program? I could have my file on my 
laptop in my 
specifically designed object sending out messages to viewers
I am running mac osx 10.4.11.
can you help?
cheers
